How to Change Your PayPal Password
Do you have an unsecured PayPal password? Do you use the same password on other sites? If the answer to either is yes, then go to the PayPal website in your browser and follow the steps below to change the PayPal password.
Log into PayPal and enter your Summary page. Select the Settings gear icon on the top right (next to the Log Out option) to display PayPal’s account and settings pages. Select the Security tab from the options at the top. Choose Password from the list of security options on the screen (or select Update). The Change your password dialog box appears. Enter your current password in the first form field, and then type your new password in the other two password fields. When you’re finished, select Change Password.
Reset Your PayPal Password When You’ve Forgotten It
You can easily forget your password if you don’t use a password manager to store your log-in information. When that happens, fall back on the PayPal feature that helps you reset your password. Remember, you can’t recover your old password with this feature but only change your password to a new one.
Open the PayPal sign-in page. Don’t enter your username and password. Select the Having trouble logging in? link. PayPal displays a Need help with your password? page. Enter the email address that you use for PayPal and click Next. PayPal uses four options to confirm your identity: receive a text, receive an email, answer security questions, or confirm your credit card number. If you choose to receive a text or receive an email, PayPal sends a six-digit code. Enter this in the confirmation field that appears. Select Continue. Use the form provided to create a new password and then confirm it again. When you’re done, click Save. Then, considering saving the password somewhere secure so that you don’t lose it again, or using a password manager that can keep up with the password and keep it safe.
